So when a source is connected directly to the PJ, there is no image shift? Any adjustment possible on the PJ?

I cabled the source direct to the projector and it was fine.

However...I cabled it direct again later and it was messed up. Obviously, that means the projector is the issue. It was hard to isolate because it now seems to be an intermittent problem with the proj hdmi input/processing.

Thanks for the assistance.

Yes, but where I put the suspect box there is no avr. I will try moving it back after the fight to see if it's the box or maybe it just needed a reset.

I'm no Apple fanoy, but the integration with an iPad via AirPlay is darn impressive. I have a 30K song collection, and the ability to use an iOS device to play everything thru the 3411 is fantastic.

Ah would this be in the HDMi control section of the menu, sorry?

Btw I have to thank you JD for all you diligent assistant here and the rest of the Denon AVR thread.

Anynet+ is the HDMI-CEC feature on the Sammy.

Hello..

Just got my new Denon AVR-A100.

Looks like it came with the mic. DM-S305.

Will this be a problem, or should I contact denon and get the correct one?

This mic. does look like it's buit nice and heavy.. Just curious if it will work fine with this denon..

Have yet to run the EQ, so figure I would ask first before wasting my time.

Thanks..

Yes, it will be a problem as that is not the correct mic, rather for Denon models about 6-8 years ago. You'll want to contact the seller and get the DM-A409 mic.

On the denon a-100, when watching 3D, will the detail enhancer in video scaler setting still be active? As it is with 2D material?

Yes, it should as the manual doesn't indicate otherwise.

Welcome back little mouse (muad'dib)! Another former 4311 owner returns to the fold! You could confirm on the mic substitution on Ask Audyssey on their website.

Checking the Ask Audyssey site, yes, you can use that mic.

I just got an AVR-4311CI about 3 weeks ago, it has been working great in 2.1 up until today when I added a center channel and 2 rears. Now the right amp seems to be playing at a very low volume and without the same sound as the left which still sounds normal. I've performed the tone test and with -12 on the left and center and +12 on the right, it's sounds almost balanced, but the sound is still weak.

I've tried swapping speakers between left and right and the problem is definitely not the speakers or wires. I've also tried performing a processor reset of the receiver and the problem is still the same.

Am I missing a setting somewhere or did my right channel amp section decide to quit today?

I recently noticed that it seems my 4311 is not playing any HD audio formats, they all seem to be scaled down to either dts or dolby digital. For the life of me I cannot get the display to read any sort of HD audio.

I am feeding it with a samsung bd player through hdmi and it plays everything fine even 3d, but no HD audio.

The audio out status on the bd player shows it is outputing the hd audio, but in the status menu of the denon it just shows the regular digital.

Any ideas of a setting that I have messed up or is it an equipment problem?

It has to be the SOURCE. The receiver can only play what it gets; if it isn't getting the right input signal it can't play anything else.

Check your BDP settings and make sure you have selected the right track in the movie.

Disconnect everything. Does it still happen? If no, reconnect things one by one until you find the culprit. If yes, reset the microprocessor and see if it still happens.

If it STILL happens after a reset and with nothing connected, then unfortunately it's likely a repair issue.

That's what I doing right now with my speaker wires. Got a new stand today and I think that could be the problem when I reconnect the speaker wires to the Denon .Found the problem it was my center speaker wire thanks batpig.

And on the AVR, HDMI Control is set to ON and the Standby Source set to the HDMI jack# that the source you want to pass through is plugged in to?

Make sure the BDP is set to "bitstream" and that "Secondary Audio" is set to OFF.

Did you run AUTO SETUP again after adding the additional speakers as is required? What are the trim settings for the FL/FR speakers after running AUTO SETUP? You may want to reset the microprocessor (p. 138).

I replaced the cable and the problem did not go away.

now THAT is a nifty idea... i like that...

Does anyone know how I can get the Harmony codes for the 4311 without going through Harmony? Harmony won't help because I have had the remote over a year now.

Thanks

y'know, that's a good question... the manual is mute on this subject when it comes to a "direct answer"...

my guess is no, as you cannot use the scaling/deinterlacing for a 3d signal, which "may" imply that the video processor is bypassed entirely for a 3d signal... which would mean no picture adjustments would be possible...

but that is a "guess"...
